That's what i'm gonna do. I read about it being a common problem with hard starts when it's raining. I gotta walk ALLL the way back to the car and check this crap in the rain. Nice.

Thanks finny.

Burn it, pee on it, stuff it full of cocaine and shove it over a cliff. Then turn it on your insurance as a clear-cut case of grand theft.

Or just check the plugs and wires. Whatever you wanna do man.

Just drive your Jeep to work next time. Save the beater.

stuffing it full of coke would probably cost more than the insurance will give you

like finny said wd-40 the crap out of them to get you home that's probably your problem
